In fact this design has nothing to do with ABIR architects but was designed by Peter Francis Lewis of AEREA Design, Who entered the Competition, produced the concept, the design and the construction drawings and engaged ABIR as consultants at a later stage. So I am a little confused as to the suggestion that it is a product of ABIR??????

Excellent – utilitarian and attractive. But please let’s not confuse this with a beach hut redesign. The point about a beach hut is that it is ALL yours – no shared (“party”) walls. This building may have co-joined sections that each serve a similar purpose as a “beach hut” but it is stretching things to desribe it as a redesigned beach hut!!!

Didn't I see something like this in an old Beatles movie? Each Beatle had their own door which opened into the same structure and the beds were set into the floor with a sliding floor/door to cover the bed during the day and supposedly provide privacy at night. Wondering now which movie I saw it in and who designed the one for the movie – I'd like to take another look for comparison.
